"Getting Started" screen after restoring from a backup

I just moved from one machine running immich to another. Both are running under Docker. The old install was from before the DB was stored outside of docker. So, I planned to do a restore from the last DB dump.

I followed the instructions here: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/ but once they were done, I'm getting the "Getting Started" screen.

I've rerun them a couple times, using different DB dumps, but still get the same result. I put a bunch of time into setting the old instance up that I'd rather not repeat, but I don't see what else I can do to troubleshoot. I'm hoping someone here has an idea.
